The Peerless Tang Sect: Heavenly Heart Douluo

Yu Kong shook his head, and with a wave of his hand, accompanied by a subtle spatial fluctuation, the notebook that was originally in Lao Ling's hand appeared in his hand.

Then Yu Kong casually tossed the notebook to the Temple Master of the Magician Temple, and at the same time, Lao Ling felt the treasure he was tightly clutching in his hand disappear.

The magic arrays that had been maintaining the training room collapsed instantly due to Old Ling's unstable mind.

"Alright, all done. I'm leaving." With that, Yu Kong vanished from the spot, leaving several ninth-tier magic gods looking at each other in bewilderment.

Because of the significant depletion of his mental and magical energy over the past few days, and the sudden loss of the notebook causing a rapid fluctuation in his emotions, Old Ling immediately fainted.

Looking at the unconscious Old Ling and the thin notebook in his hand, the Temple Master of the Mage Temple said to Jiang Chen, the ninth-tier Light Magic God, who was standing beside him, "Go and check on Little Ling to see if there are any other problems."

"I want to see what kind of bewitching potion Yu Kong gave Xiao Lingzi that could turn a dignified ninth-level magic god into this state."

After saying that, the Temple Master of the Mage Temple opened the thin booklet in his hand and began to read it. However, the more he turned the pages, the more shocked he became.

Seeing the change in expression on the face of the usually emotionless Temple Master of the Mage Temple, Elder Huo, the Law Enforcement Elder, couldn't help but step forward.

He read the unassuming booklet with the Temple Master of the Mage Temple, and then he showed the same expression as the Temple Master.

"This, this is impossible! This isn't magic at all!" Old Huo said in shock. "Is this why Old Ling went crazy? What exactly is that kid Yu Kong researching?"

The Temple Master of the Mage Temple narrowed his eyes: "Have you already experienced whether the theory behind this is possible? What are your thoughts?"

Upon hearing this, Lao Huo's expression turned somewhat grim, and he stammered, unable to speak. Seeing his reaction, the Temple Master of the Mage Temple understood what had happened and then said, "Well, let's wait for Xiao Lingzi to recover first."

"Then we'll ask him how he feels. If all the theories in this booklet hold true, then the existence of mages over thousands of years may be overturned, and even the existence of summoners and priests may be affected."

"Perhaps the era of our three temples standing in a tripartite balance of power will soon be over." At this point, the Temple Master of the Mage Temple smiled slightly. "It seems that my falling out with those two old geezers wasn't in vain."

"Even if Yu Kong's talent isn't outstanding, this theory alone is enough to make him the Holy Son of our Mage Temple."

Soon, Jiang Chen brought over Old Ling, who had been healed by holy light magic: "Palace Master, Old Ling's spirit has stabilized a lot, and he doesn't have any other injuries. The main problem is that he consumed too much mental and magical energy."

The Temple Master of the Mage Temple nodded and looked at Old Ling, asking, "How is Yu Kong's theory?"

Although weak, Old Ling said excitedly, "Palace Master, I can feel my spiritual energy bottleneck loosening! Xiao Kong's theory is correct! It's far more accurate than the magic we studied before!"

"Although I can only deduce magic up to around the fourth ring level right now, I believe that given more time, I will definitely, absolutely, master all types of magic like never before!"

"Even the abilities of priests and summoners can be mastered by us mages if we study them using Xiao Kong's theory!"

"Xiao Kong mentioned in his notes that, in his opinion, the division of the three families of mages, priests, and summoners was a legacy of the war between humans and demons."

"With the arrival of the current era of peace, professionals no longer need to quickly build up their combat strength and then directly enter the battlefield."

"We now have more time to delve into and broaden the depth and breadth of magic."

"We should no longer use the previous system and cultivate only to break through as quickly as possible. Instead, we need to rely on the accumulation of knowledge to advance to the next breakthrough."

"I can feel that the more I decipher the magic I've learned, the more thoroughly I master it, and my spiritual power is not far from breaking through!"

Upon hearing this, the Temple Master of the Mage Temple nodded, but did not immediately draw a conclusion. Instead, he said, "This matter is of great importance. You should first summon the other temple elders to a meeting to discuss it."

"Also, I want to see that kid Yu Kong. I really don't know how that kid's brain works. How did he even come up with this idea?"

Indeed, as Lao Ling said, the current temple system is actually a remnant of the war between humans and demons. The path that professionals on the Holy Demon Continent are taking now is still the same quick-fix method that their predecessors took.

But is that really the case? The Temple class system was developed and explored step by step because of the resource shortages and frequent wars in the Human-Demon War, and the need for a large number of real-time combat forces.

In this peaceful era, a large number of mid-level professionals fill every corner of the Holy Demon Continent. If it were during the Human-Demon War, these fifth and sixth-level professionals, but with weak combat power, would have died in the war long ago.

However, with the disappearance of war, the number of these former cannon fodder is increasing exponentially every year and every day. Their existence cannot open up new directions for the human occupational system, and at the same time, their existence consumes a lot of resources.

Even with the end of the war between humans and demons, despite active expansion, the Holy Demon Continent has not made much substantial progress in exploring other worlds, even though it is in preparation for the so-called "threat," namely the reincarnation of Austin Griffin.

And what can these vulnerable people do even if that day really comes?

Are they going to struggle with their low-level skills that they couldn't even use against Austin Griffin? Isn't that a bit ridiculous?

Furthermore, due to the issue of the origin of magic, it was practically impossible for mages below the ninth rank to make any new discoveries, according to the old system.

All they did was follow the established procedures and use the knowledge of their predecessors to perform what they called magic.

They can use magic, but they don't understand it. The war between humans and demons has lasted too long, and even in today's peaceful times, the Temple of Mages and other temples have not adjusted their thinking.

"Perhaps we really are wrong," the Temple Master of the Mage Temple murmured to himself. "If this theory comes to fruition and we can promote it, then the once lifeless Mage Temple may be able to bloom with new vitality."

"Moreover, even those mages who are not particularly strong or talented can get the opportunity to advance and break through, after all, according to Yu Kong's current theory, the sea of ​​magical knowledge is really too profound."

"An ordinary second-tier spell can be broken down and recombined into more than a dozen first-tier spells in Yu Kong's theory. And after the recombination of these first-tier spells, this second-tier spell can take on many more forms."

"Third tier, fourth tier, fifth tier... This is terrifying. Even a top-tier mage might not be able to fully comprehend the true mysteries of magic in their entire life."

"When the time comes that it is truly widely adopted, perhaps all magicians will focus on researching and modifying a unique innate magic of their own, because their wisdom will no longer be enough to distract them from other things."

"Back then, other magical spells probably only existed to assist the magician's own signature spell."

"Every mage has their own unique research findings. By summarizing the knowledge of all mages, the Temple of Mages can once again shine brightly!" The more the Temple Master thought about this, the brighter his originally cloudy old eyes became.

The old temple master of the magician temple moved with incredible speed, at this moment he even forgot that as a ninth-order mage god he could travel using other magic.

When he arrived at the sixth floor of the Great Library, Yu Kong continued to browse the books there using his mental power, just as he had done on the fifth floor. However, his reading speed seemed to be much faster than before.

"Old man, why are you here again? Aren't you annoying? Didn't Old Ling cure him?" Yu Kong opened his eyes and asked the Temple Master of the Magician Temple, who was standing beside him, his face flushed with excitement.

"No, no, no, Yu Kong, I'm here to discuss your theory with you. I can sense that, apart from what you wrote in your notes, this theory has a lot of room for development; it's just that you haven't finished writing it down yet."

"Quickly, tell me your complete theory now! This will be an unprecedented revolution for our Mage's Temple!"

"..." Yu Kong glanced at the old man in front of him speechlessly, then rolled his eyes: "That's it, really, that's all."

"There's really nothing else. After all, it's exhausting to write something that you rigid thinkers can understand."

"What? How is that possible? How could I possibly not understand your theory!" With his eyes wide open, the Temple Master of the Mage Temple felt himself breaking down. What did he mean by saying that even understanding it was exhausting? Was Yu Kong implying that he wasn't smart enough?

"Literal meaning." Yu Kong shrugged. "Then let me ask you, what is 1+1?"

不待魔法师圣殿殿主回答，宇空直接说道：「1+1=2，哪怕是小孩子也知道这件事，但是你知道要怎幺将1+1=2给证明出来吗？」

This statement immediately froze the Temple Master of the Mage Temple in place. 1+1=2? Isn't this obvious common sense? Does it really need proof? And what's the point of proving it anyway?

Yu Kong didn't say much, because although 1+1=2 is a principle that even children know, the process of proving it is the cornerstone of mathematics.

Its meaning is profound, and naturally difficult for the mages of the Holy Demon Continent, who only study cultivation and try every means to improve their elemental affinity, to understand.

"That's why I said you can't understand it. It's very complicated for me to break down the theory I know into something you can understand, and ultimately derive the process of 1+1=2."

"Instead of wasting this time, I'd rather deconstruct a few more magic arrays myself. I'm only at the sixth rank right now," Yu Kong said.

"Besides, aren't the things I've given you enough for research? Even using only fourth-tier magic, you can unleash power comparable to seventh or eighth-tier magic."

"The core of my philosophy is the accumulation and learning of a large amount of basic spell logic. As the mage's mental strength continues to improve, the rest will naturally fall into place."

Upon hearing this, the Temple Master of the Magician Temple frowned, as if he wanted to refute, but could not give a reason.

"One first-tier spell is a first-tier spell, ten first-tier spells are a second-tier spell, and one hundred first-tier spells are a third-tier spell."

"Then when you can make five first-tier spells have the effect of second-tier spells, then you can be considered to have entered the field."

"When you can combine two first-tier spells to produce the effect of a second-tier spell, then you've succeeded."

"The same applies to third- and fourth-tier magic. There is a limit to how many you can accumulate. All we can do is reduce the base number as much as possible. Otherwise, even if you analyze the theory, you won't be able to use it in actual combat."

"Who would be foolish enough to let you spend the time it takes to cast 100,000 first-tier spells to combine a single sixth-tier spell?"

"Anyway, if it were me, to cast a second-tier spell now, I would need at least two first-tier spells combined. Depending on the subject, this second-tier spell can produce at least two variations."

"My third-tier magic requires at least six first-tier magics to combine, and if these first-tier magics are not repeated, I can currently make it transform up to ninety times, which is already the limit of my mental strength."

"So right now I can only fully master the known fifth-order magic. To use it flexibly and freely, I'm still far from being able to effectively reorganize it. So old man, please don't bother me to continue my research."

Upon hearing this, the Temple Master of the Magician's Temple sighed helplessly. It was the first time he had realized what a true genius was, and what it meant to be born for magic.

He was once an exceptional genius with an elemental affinity of nearly one hundred, a level that other mages could only dream of. Otherwise, he would not have been able to surpass all other mages and become the Temple Master of the Mage Temple in this peaceful era filled with powerful individuals.

Upon hearing Yu Kong's undisguised impatience, he felt an extreme sense of frustration and a hint of jealousy for the first time. However, due to his rich experience, he eventually let go of this jealousy and sighed.

"Yes, it's time for you young people to take over. I'm getting old, really old."

After saying that, the Temple Master of the Mage Temple casually cast a spatial spell and left the Great Library, leaving Yu Kong alone there quietly.

In any case, he must spread this forward-thinking idea. Although he is already a ninth-order magic god, it may be very difficult for him to switch to this theory if he wants to, because of his deep-rooted accumulation of knowledge.

However, he believed that this theory would usher in an unprecedented era for magicians. Even if he couldn't board the ship of this new era, just imagining it was inspiring enough! (End of Chapter)
